Torsten,
Thanks for accepting today's call with Paul on such short notice. Paul
Barrett is Stewart Oldfield's client and manages money for a few families.
We have been discussing the below charts of yours and Paul discussed with us
buying payer spreads on CDX IG. I guess he'd like to have a bit more in
depth call with you around the flows as Europe and Japan pull back from QE
and what that means to assets in the US.
Thanks again and see you at 11 on the call.
Martin

Subject: DB: Foreign demand for US credit weakening
When the ECB introduced negative interest rates in 2014 many European and
Asian investors started buying US rates and also the next-door neighbor to
US rates namely US IG. With higher US Treasury yields, rising hedging costs,
a falling dollar, and signs that the ECB will end QE in September foreign
demand for US credit is slowing, see chart below. Expect this to continue
going forward. Happy to discuss further, let your DB sales contact know.
